About the Journal
The Canadian Journal of Physician Leadership (CJPL) is a peer-reviewed journal launched in 2014. Now published three times yearly, it focuses on topics and issues related to leadership and the health care system as they pertain mainly, but not exclusively, to physicians and physician leaders.
Since 2014, the journal has grown, not only nationally, but also internationally. We are seeing submissions from well known authors, researchers, and health care organizations, as well as many articles from our own members.

Editors evaluate submitted manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit (importance, originality, study’s soundness, clarity). They should be relevant to the members of the Canadian Society of Physician leaders and to the journal’s scope, in the context of diversity and without regard to the authors’ race, gender, sexual orientation, ethnic origin, citizenship, religious belief, political philosophy or institutional affiliation. Decisions to edit and publish are not determined by the policies of governments or any other agencies outside of the journal itself. The Editor-in-Chief has full authority over the entire editorial content of the journal and the timing of publication of that content.
Confidentiality – Editors and editorial staff will not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisers, and the publisher, as appropriate. Reviewers will only disclose information about the submitted manuscript to the Editor-in-Chief and to editorial staff.
